Every single time anyone has ever tried to make a new galaxy with special initials after the RG they failed and their projects died. I suggest we avoid this curse and continue with [RG], because what I'm trying to do here is just give the main timeline a really good polishing. It could count as a reboot, but let's not attract the wrath of the initial gods by breaking their Seventeenth Commandment or whatever. Besides, this is the Reborn Galaxy being reborn. What the heck d'you call that?

Or we could forego initials. The RG is dead now and a new galaxy is being made. Wouldn't it be easiest to have no initials like they did in the OG before the RG and the RG before the NC and NG and all that other crap?

The Communicant War-Era Torpals don't strike me as one who would do that kind of thing. There'd have to be a clear military threat for them to riot or go to war with their allies.

Maybe you can make it something more along the lines of the Union get thrown into a civil war, again. As usual, this is gonna spill out and affect everyone else. One of the factions could be reasoned to have Anti-Torpalian tendencies, and proceed to wage war with the Torpals, with the false idea that the Communicant War crippled them enough to be easy pickings.

Surprise, they aren't and the Torpal gets drawn into the whole conflict as well.

On the other end of civilization, Communicant stragglers, the Mon Krai and other Communicant Allies are rebuilding their military. Seeing the whole mess in the outer rim as an opportunity, they strike, mutually annihilating each other for the most part.

As for the Wexxians in the Shadow Station that were left to watch over the galaxy, they could only assassinate so many people, and at this state there really isn't anything that can be done without slugging it out with the others using traditional armies, something which the Shadows just aren't numerous enough for.

How this could be translated to a radial system for the 3D map I'm not sure, but I'll try. After all, different projection types exist in real life, so it wouldn't be much of a problem. Maybe we could just explain it off as different map companies, which kinda makes sense, actually.

Also, for those wondering about stuff like colony ships or deep-space patrol/exploration fleets, I might also include them, seeing that most Kratair actually live in ships instead of star systems.

Listen, Yuu... For what it's worth as a Pacific American, I feel total and absolute SHAME for the atrocities my ancestors committed against yours. The First Philippine Republic should have been the only, and... Well, I'm not too good with words so you can look up Mark Twain and let him express things in a much more eloquent manner. Seriously though, the black bow tie really should have laid in that wardrobe unworn forever. Go Philippines. And go whatever Crazen is.

I'm feeling a bit tired right now and I love the way you explain things so vividly, so would you mind informing me about what the Union was, who was in it, who in it was anti-Torpal, what the Shadow Station was, what and where the Galactic Senate was, what OP stands for, and whether we're using blobs or circles, preferably circles?

In the meantime I'll do that myself anyway, or perhaps more important stuff. I dunno.

Oh, and a good chunk of the map will be unexplored, giving us ample space for new species and areas!

Alright, sure thing! Howzabout I put the species in locations that correspond very generally to their places on the ex-map? Oh, and let's make location names for areas and nebulae, like the Classical Expanse or Outer Verge! You know, like in Mass Effect! Yeah!

While no one is specifically Anti-Torpal as far as I can recall, the vast diversity of political opinion within the Union makes it the likeliest to foster a faction that is both Anti-Torpal and has the firepower to back it up.

Basically, the Union is always just one massive internal conflict away from becoming pretty much anything, politics-wise.

The Shadow Station is a highly secretive militarized space station owned by the Shadows. The Shadows are an organization created for clandestine intelligence collection, intelligence analysis and covert tactical response. Originally founded by the Wexxian Avenger - Lord Axon after the Reclamation, the Shadows broke apart from the Wexxian Nation around the time of the Exodus and became their own faction, becoming the sole Wexxians left in the Galaxy until the Tri-Wexxians' return.

The station is hidden somewhere in the galaxy, its location known only to the Shadows. It acts as the HQ and home of all Shadows and Shadows in training. It is also completely self sufficient and capable of housing a lot of stuff.

Other than the cloaking shields, I think it also has a single large offensive weapon for emergencies, though I kinda forgot what it was like other than it operated via the latest Zero Point Technology they had at the time.

A little piece of trivia: The Shadows were originally, and are possibly still, purely Wexxian. However, Jack has stated that other races might get an invitation if their performance is good enough.

The Galactic Senate is basically a space station located somewhere in politically neutral space. It houses the Galactic Senate, a forum created from representatives of numerous races and civilizations.

They create and pass laws which must be obeyed by all members. Examples of issues that were discussed were laws on uplifting, foreign aid and the minimum budget for certain public services.

It's more or less a Space-UN.

There's an off-shoot of this called the Galactic Security Council or something to that effect, though it's not really something of note.
